Far more than a lighting fixture, it is a true architectural statement, conceived for prestigious spaces and for a discerning international clientele attentive to quality, theatrical presence, and absolute uniqueness.
and visual impact
The chandelier immediately impresses through the graphic strength of its composition and the refined balance between the geometric rigor of Art Deco and lingering Art Nouveau influences, still clearly visible in the finely chiselled floral decorations adorning the eight gilded bronze plates.
The structure is organized according to a radial, star-shaped layout, generating a dynamic and commanding visual rhythm:
• eight light points arranged along the broad lower circular crown;
• five vertically rising, arrow-shaped elements at the centre, which introduce a strong upward movement and lend the piece an almost monumental presence.
The result is an object of remarkable scenic power, conceived to be appreciated from a distance and to dominate the surrounding space. It is ideally suited to a grand salon, a formal reception room, a monumental entrance hall, or a prestigious residence, where the chandelier naturally becomes the visual and symbolic focal point of the interior.
Materials and craftsmanship
Executed entirely in gilded bronze, with an impressive total weight of approximately 28 kg, the chandelier reflects craftsmanship of the highest order.
The bronze is worked with exceptional precision:
• finely chiselled surfaces with stylised floral motifs,
• crisp, sharply defined edges,
• perfect integration between the structural framework and the decorative elements.
The glass components, arranged in triangular and lanceolate forms, display two distinct tonal qualities:
• a brighter, more neutral light in the lower section;
• a warm, slightly amber hue in the upper elements, creating a refined chromatic contrast and a particularly evocative luminous depth when illuminated.
